Background
By the end of 2011, all courses from the NATO CIMIC/CMI Landscape have been conducted for the first time. The E&IT landscape and products have been developed under well established NATO procedures such as a comprehensive Training Need Analysis. Throughout the whole process the NATO CIMIC Community of Interest (COI) consisting of trainers and customers out of the NATO Command and Force structure, NATO Nations, NATO School and the Multinational CIMIC Group has been involved. By using the latest developments in the field of modern didactical methodologies such as the Competence Based E&T Model, the overall courses’ design and exe-cution is customer demand driven. The modular build up of the CIMIC E&IT Landscape allows for great flexibility in relation to entering a course (as will be
explained more in depth later in this article) and in relation to developing tailor made courses on request. The content of the courses is based on NATO doctrine and procedures, and it takes into account the rapidly chang-ing operational environment and the changes in the NATO Command and Force structure. Special attention has been given to incorporate the civil dimension and its important role in today’s missions. Furthermore the role of CIMIC as a key facilitator for Civil Military Interaction (CMI) and NATO’s contribution to a comprehensive ap-proach has a prominent role in the courses.

CIMIC MESSENGER
The CCOE CIMIC MESSENGER is an electronic publication of the CIMIC Centre of Excellence.
Its dedicated aim is to provide a forum or platform for stimulating and presenting innovative and comprehensive thinking on NATO CIMIC and Civil-Military Interaction (CMI) related issues such as mission experiences, concepts, doctrine or lessons learned.
The views and opinions expressed or implied in the CCOE CIMIC MESSENGER are those of the authors and should not be con-strued as carrying the official sanction of NATO, of any national armed forces or those of CCOE.
General perception and Lessons Identified
With the exception of the NCLC the first iteration
of all courses has been well received by both the
training audience and the training staff (including
the various SMEs). Although points for improve-
ment have been identified, the general score of
the NCHCC, NCSWC, NCFWC and NCFSC was
around 8 (out of 10). The time between the first
iteration and the second iteration will be used to
address the deficits and to further improve each
course. Referring to the outcome of the evaluation
of the NCLC, this course needs quite some im-
provements.
However, the root causes have been identified
and a workshop with SMEs is already arranged in
order to tackle the weak points.
Overall it seems that the new CIMIC/CMI Land-
scape addresses the complete and right audience
and fulfils the operational training requirements
of NATO and beyond.
